    This post comming from someone with an Orc avatar is incredibly amusing.

    As for the topic: Indifferent in personal use. If people wanna use it, whatever.

    Well yeah, all those things don't really hide your core face though. Hair is just a topping, as is tanning and dyes. Piercings will make you a bit harder to recognize, and most men who have facial hair have it for a very long period of time, not on in the morning and then off. They do look different when they shave though, so facial hair really is the closest thing to make up a man has. It;s a good example of how some women can look drastically different in a short amount of time because of makeup, just like men who took months to grow the bear will look drastically different after shaving.

    Not really no. Just asking what you think of it in general.

    Sure. Although I personally prefer minimalistic makeup on women.

    Do I find it dishonest? Not sure about that tbh. To a very small extent? Sure. Does it bother me/do I have trust-issues over it? Not really.

    I'm more interested in the person than the facade, with or without makeup.

    It's not really any different that wearing certain types of clothes to be prettier. I don't know why some guys have such a big problem with make up. But then, it's mostly men on the internet who have unreasonably high expectations of women in response to not being able to actually find a woman willing to put up with their bullshit.

    I am unable to step a single foot outside my house without putting my make up. I would literally feel naked without it.

    But all I normally wear is a little waterproof eyeliner and a 12 hour lip stain.

    I am as blonde as it gets, and my skin is practically translucent. Without a little color and definition, I look like a ghost.

    That certainly is another issue. Some women and girls are made to have such low self esteem about how they look, and then makeup feeds on that and makes them feel like it can make it better. So it starts to get sales from them simply because no one is bothering to look at the core issue. All they see is a girl who has an interest in makeup. They don't bother to look past it and say that Maybe they have low self esteem and need some words of encouragement rather then trying to alter how they look through makeup.

    I dont really care for it, but i neither approve nor disapprove of it. It has its uses, like covering up my acne when Im having a bad day / week.

    I don't mind if they wear makeup. But I do think some people overuse it and just looks ridiculous, but not really my problem. Otherwise its usage isn't too different from me shaping and styling my hair, or just generally dressing nice. Image is important and makeup can help with that, so go for it!
    If you find yourself relying on makeup to make you pretty you should probably deal with the actual problems instead though.

    This is a common trend in many women's products.

    Make you feel like shit then try to sell you the solution.

    Of course these days they're trying to reclaim it a bit. Now it's more an opiton and if you wanna do it, then here's where you can go, and if you don't want to it's okay.

    Some guys are even getting in on it and it's pretty impressive at what some of them can pull off.

    I personally find it unattractive and a turn off. That said, people can do whatever they want, they don't need approval to wear makeup.

    what is there for me to approve? If a women wants to use it that is up to her.
    The most I can do is not date her for it, but why would I do that?
    If it gives her a better feeling about her self and makes her feel more beautiful why would I disapprove of such a thing?

    My girl tells me the same thing when I ask her.

    Honestly as long as she wants to do it to her body she can, it's her body. As long as you think she is beautiful without it then I don't see what's hurting anything. I rather her buy makeup to feel better about herself than alcohol or meth.


    She goes the whole 9 yards, and I feel like I'm with a model, but when she doesn't have it on, I feel like I'm with a model that's not wearing makeup. She says it's therapeutic to her and loves to try new things so I let her do it. Now if your bae is terrible at it then maybe you should send her some makeup tutorial videos as a hint

    Lipstick/lip gloss is the most useless of makeups, it gets all over everything/everyone and comes off shortly after application unless you get the all-day type and forgo things like eating/drinking for most of the day.

    I went out today with nothing more than chapstick, think I did fine. Went out for dinner with a friend and some dude was giving himself whiplash from turning around to stare at me/us during the dozen or so times he deliberately walked by our table.

    Call me sheltered, but this might be the first time I've seen a girl on the internet make totally unverifiable claims about their own attractiveness the same way that the internet alpha bros do. Truly we live in a gender neutral world these days....

    I never said I was the hottest shit on the planet and nor did I claim that things like this happen on a daily basis, but yeah this happened and he was pretty obvious about it.

    There's a picture thread in the OT forums by the way.

    Up to them, really. But there's some major fuglies that really need it.

    Some wear it to attract men, some use it so they look better than other women.

    I use makeup in small amounts because I don't like to plaster it on, I already have a fiance, and I hate other women and couldn't give a shit about what they think of me xD
    Therefore it is purely so I feel I look nice (when leaving the house or even staying home). It's nothing to do with self esteem as I never started wearing makeup until I was about 17 and out of school but now in college.

    Obviously if I was going to something important like a party, I like to make myself look nice, but I don't see putting on makeup as any different than putting on nice clothes. Do you go to a wedding in shorts and a sports top with sunglasses? I hope not. Sometimes its just about looking nice overall for the occasion.



    In saying why I personally wear makeup, there ARE the girls who slap it on everyday and it makes them extremely different in appearance and usually because they have self esteem issues, but it's not about lying to men for a BF, I would say it's just about them feeling good.

    It's a tricky issue I agree, but girls wouldn't have to wear so much if they weren't so hard judged on appearance, which we know is hard because we simply can't help it, but then all most guys want is some hot girl, so if they take off their makeup and they don't like what's underneath, its really the guys issue and not hers.
